2. TD Securities analysts commented, "We have only trimmed our estimates, but highlight that the large number of earnings adjustments, and minimal guidance regarding the IronPlanet deal’s expected EPS accretion increase forecasting risk, in our view. We have a positive view of Ritchie Bros.’ franchise, which should be enhanced by the IronPlanet acquisition; however, we are concerned that, after benefiting from significant de-fleeting activity in 2015/2016 following the commodity price collapse, Ritchie Bros. (and likely also IronPlanet) now faces a growth headwind as equipment supply/demand has become more balanced. 45 45 40 40 35 35 30 30 25 25 20 20 May-17 Mar-17 Jan-17 Nov-16 Sep-16 Jul-16 RBA-N: Price Company Profile Ritchie Bros."

Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.

MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.
